Global mobile penetration now over 100% in four of the world’s six regions Number of mobile-cellular subscriptions approaching 7 billion Mobile broadband most dynamic market, with 2.1 billion subscriptions globally http://community.telecentre.org/profiles/blogs/itu-releases-latest-global-te... Internet ITU estimates that 2.7 billion people – or 39% of the world’s population – will be using the Internet by end 2013. Internet access, however, will remain limited in the developing world, with only 31% of the population forecast to be online at the end of 2013, compared with 77% in the developed world. Europe will remain the world’s most connected region with 75% Internet penetration, largely outpacing Asia and the Pacific (32%) and Africa (16%). Household Internet penetration – often considered the most important measure of Internet access – continues to rise. By end 2013, ITU estimates that 41% of the world’s households will be connected to the Internet. Over the past four years, household access has grown fastest in Africa, with an annual growth rate of 27%. But despite a positive general trend, 90% of the 1.1 billion households around the world that are still unconnected are in the developing world. Have a pleasant day and Peaceful voting!

The meeting was indeed a success and we witnessed in the Kenya IGF and in subsequent meetings, how discussions and outcomes regarding the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) forged the policy position for the Kenyan delegation to Dubai. We hope in this year's Kenya IGF, more can be accomplished. As you are all aware this year the ISOC Kenyan chapter will be planning, hosting and co-ordinating the local IGF. The event is slotted for the month of May. Because the IGF is a multi-stakeholder meeting, as such I believe stakeholders should be consulted in the planning and preparation of such an important meeting. Indeed as the chapter, we've just barely began the ground work and we'll need all the necessary inputs from the wider stakeholder community to properly plan and execute the meeting. I would like to suggest a first meet up in the second week of March (11th - 16th). I have no qualms hosting the meeting at the iHub (coffee would be on me :) but I'll leave the stakeholders to agree on what date and time best suits them. Let me know what works for you. I'll also work with fellow organisers to draft an agenda and circulate it in the list before the first meet up. I welcome your contributions to this discussion. Kind Regards, Paul Muchene. _______________________________________________ isoc mailing list isoc@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/isoc -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ isoc mailing list isoc@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/isoc
